Mathias,

Thanks for the help.

I looked into the 4e files and saw what you mean about the helper.


I've got this Skill Tab working to this point. The edit button is visible, and the mouseover text reads "Add Expertise" as I expect.

When I click on the edit button, I get this as frmAoE.


If I go ahead and click on the ????? to add an item, I get this chooser:


But, once I make a selection, I get this but it adds it to the form.

Here's the definitions:

I still seem to be missing something. Is it something with the choosetemplate or candidatepick?

Also, how to I forward the SkillGen.xxxx tag into the aoeAoEExpr field for use as the candidate expression?
